An iTunes icon color mod, in light of the Mac App Store

With the new Mac App store, I noticed the Mac now has the same dual icons as on the iOS – iTunes, App store. However, on the Mac, the icons are both blue whereas iTunes is purple on the iPhone. It’s a nice duo on iOS, but the already somewhat sub-par iTunes icon (it has yet to grow on me and I don’t think it will) does not sit well with its new Mac App Store counterpart. Especially if you have them both close to the Finder icon in your dock, the default App Store positioning being immediately to its right.

Another oddity is the change in symbol color – on the iPhone, they’re both white, and here we are on the Mac with a white App Store symbol and a black iTunes symbol.

Long story short, it’s not very well unified. I’m satisfied for now with one quick change, purple-izing the iTunes icon to at least resolve one of those issues.

Updated to get the tone closer to that of iOS’s icon, cheers @adambetts! Could get closer, but the icon as a whole is shaded completely differently – somewhat difficult to balance it properly, additionally with the black symbol vs. white.
